Chapter 943: 943

George Lucas can be seen from a distance, first because his thick hair and beard are very conspicuous, and secondly because the other two people around him are not tall people, Compared to before, he stood out.

At this time, George was only fifty years old, and his creative career was still at its peak. He looked refreshed and in good shape. He was not as strong as he was twenty years later. At this moment, he looked very good. , was chatting and laughing with a woman beside him.

In Hollywood, when it comes to the four major directors of the 1980s, George has always been the most special one. In terms of awards, he never won the Oscar for Best Director in his life, while the other three directors of the same period, Steven S. Pierberg, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola all fulfilled their long-cherished wishes; in terms of the number of works, not to mention the prolific Steven and Martin, even Francis has far more than George .

Strictly speaking, George's directing career is supported by two movies - or two series of movies, which has been criticized by countless people - especially those who don't know much about the history of American culture and the changes in Hollywood. It is often ironic that George has enjoyed a lifetime of fame by relying on two series of movies, which is not worthy of the name.

George's directorial career "only" contributed a "Star Wars" series, and his producer career added an "Indiana Jones" series, and these two films made him famous in history. If one looks carefully, he will find that there are only nine works of George's famous director in his life, four of which are "Star Wars" series, and then one "American. Graffiti" that made him famous in Hollywood. ”, and there are four other works that have very limited influence.

It's no wonder that people think that George's place in the top four directors of the 1980s is a bit of a misnomer.

But if you really understand the history of American culture and the history of Hollywood changes, you will know that George's influence is actually the most powerful among the four directors. A set of "Star Wars" can almost be said to have influenced generations. American culture has an irreplaceable role, and even formed a unique social phenomenon, which lasted for nearly 40 years and became the most important part of modern American culture.

The Industrial Light and Magic Company (ILM), founded by George, has brought about an earth-shaking and transformative influence on the entire Hollywood special effects industry, even in the world. Said that they have created a new era of film special effects industry, and even changed the industrial structure of the entire film industry.

If the works of Steven, Martin, and Francis have formed a cultural phenomenon that has had a huge impact on countless directors and actors later, then George's influence has permeated all aspects of the entire film industry. Therefore, if you truly stand on the ground of Hollywood and feel George's influence, you will not say "unworthy of the name".

Even if George's career as a director is only "Star Wars", he is still the most important part of film history.

Among the four directors, George and Francis have a strong friendship, and he and Steven are also very familiar. The "Indiana Jones" series jointly created by the two still has an unimaginable strong influence even in 2014.

So when Steven and Hugo appeared in front of George, George also showed complete friendliness, "I have been wondering why the sun is so beautiful this morning. It turned out that there was a 'sunshine smile' at night." Many media now refer to Hugo as "sunshine smile", thinking that Hugo has the most beautiful smile in the world, so George would have such a joke.

"Oh, George, if this is what David said to me, I think I'd be flattered." Hugo was making fun of George's inappropriateness. George is heterosexual, so his "flirt. "Naturally not suitable to launch against Hugo.

Hugo's wit and boldness made George stunned, and then he looked at David Geffen, "Hey! David! This is your favorite, isn't it?" Pull into the water.

David's willingness to come out publicly, yet be able to occupy a place on the top Hollywood power list, has long been used to this kind of ridicule, and he shrugged, "You know, I chose Tom." That means choosing Tom. - Cruise starred in "Interview with the Vampire", also in the irony circle about Tom's uninterrupted gay rumors, "But I will always remember the regret of missing Hugo."

Steven patted Hugo on the shoulder, and took the initiative to intervene to save Hugo, because he knew that this kind of ridicule had nothing to do with them, and if he talked too much, Hugo would be embarrassed, "Hugo , this is Barbara, this is Michael; Barbara, Michael, this is Hugo." He introduced Hugo to two people standing beside him.

That lady is Barbara - Broccoli (Barbara. Broccoli), she is elegant and charming. She stood beside her charmingly and winked at Hugo. Hugo's inner reaction was that he was Barbara.

Actually Hugo didn't know Barbara, at least he couldn't name her. But Hugo felt that Barbara was very familiar. He had seen Barbara in at least four promotional stills of James Bond films. In almost every promotional photo, Barbara was hugging the handsome man affectionately. The leading actor or supporting actor, showing an intimate expression. Hugo was curious at the time, who is this woman, is it really good to hug like this!

The other Michael - G - Wilson (Michael. G. Wilson) is a completely strange face, the two of them should be the producers of a new episode of "007" movie.

Barbara was not in a hurry, she just stood there smiling and looked at Hugo. After Michael and Hugo said hello, she took a step forward very formally and spread her arms. It was only a handshake, and sure enough, she lightly grabbed Hugo's shoulders with both hands, and then enthusiastically came up to perform a veneer salute, French.

Hugo felt a little surprised, because Barbara's fingertips tapped lightly on his biceps, then clenched his hands a little harder, and the finger pads slowly rubbed against his muscles, and then acted as a veneer After the ceremony, Barbara didn't do much, just smiled brightly, without any eyes or hints, and walked back calmly, as if nothing had happened.

If the goose bumps on Hugo's arms hadn't subsided, he almost thought it was his own delusion. But he knew it wasn't an illusion.

This kind of thing is really all too familiar, not to mention the disappeared Tracey Jacobs, just recall Hugo's experience at the audition scene of "Big River Love", but Hugo hasn't met for a long time. , He thought he would never encounter this kind of thing again. After all, he has achieved certain results now, and the unspoken rules are not so applicable. But obviously, Hugo was wrong.

Hugo suddenly remembered the intimate photo of Barbara and Daniel Craig at the film's promotional conference.

"The performance of 'Life and Death' is really admirable." Barbara said with a polite expression, which also made Hugo understand. In fact, in Hugo's current position, the so-called unspoken rules are still What exists is still what you want and what you want, but the communication between the two parties occupies a larger part, and the components of the transaction are reduced. No wonder people say that Hollywood is colorful, and this is one of them. "I heard that you are preparing a new album recently, don't you have any plans for your next work?"

Regarding Hugo, Barbara and Michael's policies are different, because Hugo has many choices, he and MGM are on the same level to talk about James Bond cooperation, and it can even be said that MGM is more Be urgent.

"No, there is no plan for the time being. You know, I finally have time to take a vacation. It is a wise choice to enjoy a good time." Hugo replied with a smile, his eyes were very calm, as if he had not received Barbara just now. signal in general.

"Are you serious? Are you planning to go on vacation for a while?" It was George who asked. Steven and David stood beside them with an expression of "I'm not involved", so George had to stand up and help, after all Today he is on MGM's side.

Hugo pursed his lips and tilted his head, "At least relax for a while." Hugo still has room to speak, but in a sense, it is actually saying that he does not plan to take new works in a short time. This is also rejected.

George chuckled twice, "It is estimated that there will be a lot of disappointed people." George also deliberately looked at Barbara and Michael, the hint was very obvious.

Sure enough, Barbara said, "I think the audience is the most disappointed. They can't wait to see you again on the big screen."

"No, the audience will also have visual fatigue. I don't think they want to see me too often." Hugo said with a smile, but this sentence made Steven, David, and George Everyone laughed lightly. In fact, everyone knows this point of view, but no one in Hollywood will abide by it. Everyone is fighting while the iron is hot, and they are eager to take advantage of the high popularity. Take Macaulay Culkin, for example.

It has to be said that Hugo's way of thinking is indeed different from many Hollywood people. This can be seen when Hugo chose "Pulp Fiction".

"If you plan to continue acting in the future, I think the major production companies are very happy to know the news." Barbara added, although she had not had time to mention James Bond's proposal, she felt it in advance. When it comes to Hugo's soft nails, this is the truth of social situations, never really hurting each other, everything will leave some room, but no direct damage can be seen in the shadow of swords and swords.

Hugo nodded earnestly, "Trust me, Rick will be very happy to receive a call from the production company." Without making a sound, Hugo also clicked on Rick Rosen, which is the biggest event tonight. purpose.

Steven saw that their conversation had entered a blank period, so he interjected, "I just met with Rick to chat, and I heard from him, you are trying to write a script recently?"
